Effective Summer 2023 and beyond, School of Sustainability undergraduates are no longer required to complete SOS 484 Capstone Internship. Students are encouraged to complete internships and enroll in SOS 484 Elective credit if desired.
If your DARS report still shows SOS 484 Capstone Internship as being required, send an email to cgfadvising@asu.edu requesting that they adjust your DARS report since this requirement no longer applies to you.

The majority of Online students complete traditional internships, either in person or virtual. Students find internships either through posted opportunities or by creating their own internships with local organizations by direct outreach and networking. Please review the Find an Internship resources in this site, which apply to both Online and Tempe campus based students. Two important resources are: Handshake (ASU-wide job and internship posting site) and SustainabilityConnect (School of Sustainability posting site), though you are not limited to these sites. Internships may be paid or unpaid, review internship criteria for details.
The ASU Study Abroad Office manages a Global Virtual Internship Program which allows students of all majors to complete a fully remote internship with an international (or domestic) organization, and requires no travel. Term options include A, B, or C session options. Since this is a placement based program, there is an application fee. Internships are unpaid. Pre-approved to meet SOS 484 credit requirements. Spring, Fall, Summer options available. See website for details. note: this option is only available to undergraduate students
